Cleaner's resignation with 30-day notice in incomplete contract
Hello,
Good afternoon!
My friend works as a cleaner for a cleaning company and she now wants to resign with a 30-day notice. However, she has not completed the two-year contract and has only served for 16 months.
Additionally, she has not taken any vacation leave. The sad part is that when she signed the offer letter, she did not receive a copy of it and only signed it.
I would be very grateful if you could let me know if she would have to pay or if her boss has the right to not accept the resignation if the notice period mentioned in the offer letter is more than a month.
Her boss has not provided her with any kind of proof that she can use in the future if anything happens.
Dear questioner,
The resignation can be submitted on the condition that the notice period is given as it is in the contract so that he does not make a work ban for her.
If she faces any problems, she can file a complaint, knowing that she is exempt from litigation fees.

Dear Questioner,
Kindly note that according to UAE labor law, either party has the right to terminate the employment contract for any valid reason.
However, you need to serve a notice period to your employer of not less than (30) thirty days and not more than (90) ninety days.
If you don’t abide by the notice period mentioned, you will have to pay your employer compensation and this compensation should be equal to the worker’s wage for the full notice period duration or for the remaining part.
